Do you want to be part of SSAB's journey towards a fossil-free future? SSAB Special Steels is now looking for more automation engineers for our production facilities in Oxelösund who want to join us on the exciting transition journey we are facing. If you like varied work and want to be part of a global group but at the same time work close to production to drive the development and maintenance of automation systems, this may be the job for you. Welcome with your application!

Becoming part of the SSAB family means joining a journey. A journey that we believe is crucial for the future of the planet and sustainability. Steel has been one of the most important materials for the development of our society and will continue to be so in the future. In our homes, in bridges connecting our cities and in the cars of tomorrow. At SSAB, we are proud of our history and our leadership in high strength steel.

As part of SSAB, you will be important in realizing this goal and thus contribute to a green transition of the entire steel industry.
